Return Trip

When it was discovered that I had a downturn with my lungs, we were so grateful that we had travelled so much in the past few years. We thought our traveling days were over. After meeting with the lung transplant clinic people, we realized that we can probably travel some more before enduring the transplants.

We have been talking a lot about our road trip. We have such great memories and photos to remind us of all of our adventures. During our 7,000-mile road trip, we began to keep of list of the places we wanted to explore more on another road trip. 

A return trip.

While heading to the Bourbon Trail in Kentucky, we passed Fort Knox and the Patton Museum. We are already beginning to talk about returning to this area to spend a day wandering around both these places. Also, we need to go to the other five distilleries to get our passports stamped for a free t-shirt.

In northern Arizona, I was fascinated to discover that there were many different Indian Reservations from various tribes in close proximity to each other. I would love to explore those areas. Also, there is a spot where a meteor crashed into the earth and made a huge hole. How could we pass that up? Chip and Betty said that they might join us there. That would be fun.

We realized that our US history of the Civil War was good but not great when we visited Charleston. We vowed to study up and return to tour Ft. Sumter and especially the Hunley, which is docked there. That is the Civil War era submarine that has been restored after being raised from the floor of the ocean.

Our next trip? We are already thinking about another trip in the fall of 2012. We will plan to return to the Bourbon Trail area then maybe head north to Maine to eat an obscene amount of lobster then drive down to New York. Or not. We have awhile to think about it!
